The Arkansas Children’s Foundation recently received a $1 million gift for Arkansas Children’s Hospital from the estate of Linda Garner Riggs.
Dr. Lamar and Linda Garner Riggs’ generosity will be celebrated in the burn unit; this is one of the largest unrestricted gifts made to the hospital.
“Linda’s passion for kids was palpable,” Lamar Riggs said in a news release. “She held a special place in her heart for the children at Arkansas Children’s Hospital who needed life-saving care, particularly those receiving critical care in the burn unit. Honoring her in the burn unit at ACH is so meaningful for our family.”
The unit is the only burn specialty center in Arkansas, and it treats both adult and pediatric burn injuries.
